divide the pot into 7 parts. One take 3 parts and one take 4 parts.
14,000 / 7 = 2000.
one take 6000, the other take 8000.

ratio of 3:4 means ed gets 3/7 & dave gets 4/7
3/7 *$14,000=$6,000
4/7 *$14,000=$8,000

Dave gets
4/(3+4) = 4/7 of the prize.
So he gets (4/7)(14000) =$8,000

3x + 4x = 14000
7x = 14000
x = 2000
Ed = $6000
Dave = $8000
